David Haye Retires...

So David Haye followed through with his promise and retired on his 31st birthday.

Do you think this is a clever ruse in his negotiations for a mega money fight with Vitali Kitchsko or will he stay retired?

Personally after all the nonsense he spoke I think he owes us at least this fight.

Although, I think he knows there is more chance of the world ending on 21st December 2012 than there is of him beating a Klitchsko.

I don't really know what to think of the man. On the one hand, a great a Cruiserweight who cleaned up that division and on the other hand a complete
con man. I don't think it's any co-incidence that he now talks of moving into acting!

Having said that should we view him as a great business man? The biggest money fights weren't in the Cruiser Weight division so he done alot of
talking to get him a couple of big pay days.

Yeah i agree,i think Vitali would batter him,shame,i really liked the guy before the he got gangraped by vladamir,i loved all the trash talking,made
for some great entertainment,but now looking back he couldnt walk the walk so probably best to retire now!

Yeah it probably is best to retire, I suppose he made his money and that's it. Jump ship. Shame really as he had me hyped for a while,

I think haye would have taken a beating to Klitchko honestly...

If you watch their fights you can see Haye is the better fighter...

Klitchko is only champ because the heavy weight division sucks... and has for quite a few years now

edit on 2-11-2011 by Akragon because: (no reason given)

I wouldn't say the heavy weight division sucks, it is just the AMERICAN heavy weight division that sucks.If the klitchko brothers were american they
would be "the best in the world" if they were black they would be called "the greatest of all time".

And i've already said rocky was probably "THE" best....but again fighters in that time were much different...

Rocky back in that time was like a fighter of this time.... but i think if you match him up with a recent champ, even mike tyson... it would be no
contest... Fighters these days are Monsters... they just didn't make them like we do now... now they spend millions on their training, perfect diet
etc etc...

Fighters of the past are just as good as the ones today and they trained just as hard. The amount of money spent on training has nothing to do with
it. Training over the years has not changed very much at all, people ran,jumped rope, used the heavy bags and everything else. Rocky gave Muhammad Ali
a beating when he was 46 during sparing for super-fight, Ali jumped out of the ring and demanded more money to continue for the pain that rocky was
inflicting on him. This is the same guy that took punches from foreman. Boxers of the past would be able to go toe to toe with any of the fighters of
today no problem.
